It's been a looooong time since I got back to this forum. After seeing King on That Metal Show, I decided it was time to come back. Very pleasantly suprised by the modifications to the webpage and the new merchandise store. I immediately ordered an xxxl Spider's Lullabye shirt, very cool design. Prices are good, I am basically getting the shirt delivered to my door for a grand total (shirt and shipping) of $21.00. I will definitely be getting more in the future. You guys made a wise decision in putting together this online store with official merchandise, I hope it works out well for everybody.

after you click the t-shirt on the next page below the shirt is a button that says larger image and variations if u click that the picture that appears has a arrow u can click to view the back if it has one. At least the u.s. store does this.

When I first ordered, I ordered using an iPad, which showed me the larger front image, but didn't give me the arrow for the back. So I was surprised (pleasantly) with a couple back prints today, that I did not expect. So note to self I guess: check back prints on a real computer...

The episode aired on VH1 Classic on Saturday, September 8 and can be streamed online now at vh1.com.

Speaking of the webstore, has King given any thought to selling autographed stuff thru his store? I would love to have something singed by him, but don't wanna pay the ebay pricing lol

That's a great idea SK. Or even an autograph on a card with a specific purchase or something. I don't know how he would feel charging for his autograph...I know I personally wouldn't feel right about it so maybe if you buy certain items or a certain amount of things like over $40 or something. I have no idea...good idea though.

Yeah I would think it's a good idea, and would generate some extra cash for his pocketbook. Lots of bands do that sort of thing these days, as long as he didn't go hog wild with pricing I would buy something signed just to have an autograph.

Or do what Maiden does and have monthly drawings for free shit, just in case he didn't wanna spend his whole life signing his name over and over lol

Once I bought some stuff from Ole on ebay and I asked him if King could sign anything from the stuff I bought..also, I said I would pay anything if it was possible...

Ole answered "We (King, the band and Ole) will never charge for autographs, that's not right, but unfortunately he is in Dallas and I am in Denmark"..or something like this...I can't remember the exact words..

So, I guess that means that they probably won't sell autographs on the official webstore

I thought this attitude very admirable...even though I got sad cause I would never had my autograph

Then I suggest something my other favourite band, Blind Guardian does... Everything you order from their official shop (not EMP or other "official" chanel, only the one official shop by them) is signed by the band! It can be alot of work, but if this is restricted to only CD/LP/POSTER/TOURBOOK (which aren't that big of a portion in the shop) - kind of "signable" material, it can be kept in order.

Also, relating to this, I got a pleasant surprise. I ordered the new Europe CD from CDON, that is the main online record store here. The cd arrived without a plastic wrap, that was a bit odd to me. When I looked at it closely, the whole band had signed the CD cover. Maybe an idea for King and the crew also. Fully signed "first edition" of new release or new item in the shop. First couple of hundred items would be signed by the band...

that's a good idea..the first 100 or 200 copies of a cd will be signed...or comes with a signed picture..

I'm really glad that the king has expanded the band stuff, but when I looked at the list EMP so my opinion is too much of the usual t-shirts, none whatever long-sleeved t-shirt could not entitled to permit, even though Voodoo, fatal portrait, conspiracy, the eye, etc.would be rather less common in t-shirts and a few more long sleeve.
